One Perfect Summer

One Perfect Summer is a novella to start off the Hazel Island series. Bekah has just got out of a three year relationship and decides to do something wild for once - have a summer fling. Elliot might not have been her first choice, but she can’t deny their chemistry. But as summer comes to a close, can they continue to be friends, or have emotions snuck in and ruined everything?

This was a cute introduction to a new series, where you couldn’t help but want to cheer for Bekah and Elliot. We get introduced to some new characters, some of which will feature in future books, but I love that the focus is on the summer fling that has the potential to be so much more. We learn about Bekah, about how she plays things safe and loves to be in control of her future. We also learn about Elliot, who seems to have the best in life, but is slowly realizing that he lacks passion for his career and can start to see how great commitment might be. In high school, they couldn’t have been more opposite, but now, those opposites aren’t quite as pronounced, and they help draw them together. This summer fling turns from steam to friendship, but I love that they both have to decide to take a risk if they want more. I liked this book! I look forward to what this series will hold and I love the little glimpse offered into the first full length novel!

Sweet and unexpected love story!

I enjoyed reading this book. The story is short and funny. I felt like I was there with the characters.
